Integrative Medicine Doctor James Neuenschwander joins Del to discuss a MAPS-aligned pediatric neurologist tapped to lead a major NIH child health institute and why it matters. He explains MAPS’ root-cause approach to autism and previews its upcoming Philadelphia conference.

The Lindsay Clancy trial has ignited a national debate over postpartum mental health and criminal responsibility. Clinical psychologist Dr. Roger McFillin joins Del to examine a major part of her medical history and expose the darker side of modern psychiatry—and the devastating consequences its practices are having on millions of patients around the world.

The legal pressure surrounding the COVID origins controversy continues to build. Jefferey follows newly surfaced emails, shifting alliances, and the growing list of figures facing uncomfortable questions about what happened behind the scenes.

President Trump calls for the MMR vaccine to be broken into three separate shots, setting off immediate pushback from the pharmaceutical industry. Jefferey Jaxen investigates what it would actually take to split the vaccine and uncovers a controversial history that raises even bigger questions.

Two deaths in Pennsylvania are being linked to measles, declining vaccination rates, and the Trump administration. But what is the Lancaster County coroner saying?

A battle erupts between RFK Jr. and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro over two “measles-associated” deaths, vaccine misinformation, and the use of abortion-derived fetal cell lines in MMR production.

Jefferey Jaxen investigates Merck’s claim that fulfilling President Trump’s order to split the MMR vaccine could take up to a decade. Plus, Fauci launches a legal defense fund as scrutiny of the COVID lab-leak cover-up intensifies.

As closing arguments conclude in the Lindsay Clancy trial, Del sits down with board-certified clinical psychologist Dr. Roger McFillin to examine Clancy’s psychiatric-drug history and ask whether the pharmaceutical industry belongs on trial, too.

Then, Del checks in with MAPS President Dr. James Neuenschwander about a MAPS physician’s appointment to the NIH and the upcoming MAPS conference.

Del is back on the Fauci case this week, following the trail from his diary to his phone records, and the web of people around him. Jeremy Farrar and Peter Daszak never got a pardon. Could that be the pressure point that cracks this case open?

Also on deck: an executive order to break the MMR into three separate shots is running into a wall. Experts say it would take a decade to run safety studies on each component, even though none of those studies had ever been done before the three were combined in the first place.

And the case gripping the country. Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts mother accused of killing her three children, was on 13 different medications, many of them SSRI’s. Del asks board-certified clinical psychologist Roger McFillin whether pharma should be on trial as well.
